Waves - Lions Lions

Hold your breath before this wave crashes over us

Hide all your valuables and keep your kids locked up

With a job like this

We get paid to collect bodies

We come and go so quick

We get paid to collect bodies

Have you had enough

Or is it something deep inside

That you’re just not telling us

Building up walls and barricades

It’s something like an illusion

So take a deep breath

And feel this ocean water filling up your lungs

Hold your breath before this wave crashes over us

Hide all your valuables and keep your kids locked up

With a job like this

We get paid to collect bodies

We come and go so quick

We get paid to collect bodies

Please don’t forget to wrap these weights around your ankles baby

Fill your pockets with every empty apology they gave you

Because tonight because tonight

You’ll be sitting all alone at the bottom

Who’s gonna save you tonight

Hold your breath before this wave crashes over us

Hide all your valuables and keep your kids locked up

With a job like this

We get paid to collect bodies

We come and go so quick

We get paid to collect bodies

So just rip me away from that normal sense of security

And you’ll be born again on a river bank

Now before you drown yourself

Were these scares never meant to heal?

Was this heart never meant to feel?

Well I hope this time

Breaks you down

I’m starting to feel this water wrapped around my chest

Hold your breath before this wave crashes over us

Hide all your valuables and keep your kids locked up

With a job like this

We get paid to collect bodies

We come and go so quick

We get paid to collect bodies

I’m starting to feel this water wrapped around my chest
